The Big Gay Picnic

✨ Get ready for a night of show-stopping entertainment at The Rail! ✨
Join us for an unforgettable evening of powerhouse vocals, jaw-dropping drag, and electrifying performances that will keep you cheering all night long.

🌟 Special guest performance by the one and only Paul Ancho!
This isn’t a fundraiser—but every donation goes straight to supporting the Big Gay Picnic, keeping our community’s most colorful tradition alive.

🍸 Kick things off at 7:00 PM with an auction, raffles (including a Labubu raffle 🐰👑), and tasty jello shots to set the mood.
🎭 Then at 8:00 PM sharp, the spotlight hits the stage for a glittering show filled with laughter, glamour, and unforgettable moments you’ll be talking about long after the last song.

This month, we're turning the spotlight toward our incredible sapphic siblings with Sapphic September—a joyful, community-centered celebration of queer women and the many identities under the sapphic umbrella. Whether you're lesbian, bi, pan, trans, nonbinary, or simply an ally, everyone is welcome at this Big Gay Picnic.

We’re proud to be sponsored by Gossip Grill, San Diego’s iconic LGBTQ+ women’s bar and social hub. Expect empowering vibes, a welcoming picnic space, and maybe a few flirty nods to femme-fabulous fun. Bring a blanket, something to share, and your most radiant self.

When: Sunday, September 14, 2025, from 11 AM to 3 PM
Where: Cypress Grove Picnic Area, Balboa Park, San Diego (aka Gay Beach)
What to Bring: Your picnic setup, a snack to share, and your most radiant, affirming energy

And when the sun sets, keep the celebration going! Join us for an unofficial after-party at Gossip Grill for Girls, Gays & Theys and the R&B Takeover—because Sundays are for sapphic energy and queer joy.
